Lion Head Mesa lacrimosus

germanicus returned ten days after his departure, but he did not seek crowfeather.

he told himself that the responsibilities he had given to his own sense of honor must come first.

the guard descended below the mesa and began to travel the stone courseways, where the summer's flowery scent still hung, though fainter now.

he searched for ramesses, but did not find him enthroned. instead it was the sick-room where the woman maggie lay.

germanicus cleared his throat at the doorway. "i have spoken with nyra. she will bring you a war, pharaoh."
